No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard chemical and immunochemical assay technologies (photometry, ion selective electrodes, dye-binding) and traditional statistical analysis of performance data (linearity, precision, method comparison). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that performs quantitative measurements of analytes in human specimens. It aids in diagnosis and treatment but is not a therapeutic device itself.

Yes

The Trinidad CH System is designed to perform in vitro diagnostic tests on clinical specimens, and the measurements it provides are explicitly stated to be used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and conditions (e.g., aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, electrolyte imbalance, cystic fibrosis, diabetic acidosis, liver/kidney diseases).

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "floor model, fully automated, microprocessor-controlled, integrated instrument system" that uses "photometric and integrated ion selective multisensor detection technologies." This indicates it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement in Intended Use: The very first sentence of the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states: "The Trinidad CH System is an automated, clinical chemistry analyzer designed to perform in vitro diagnostic tests on clinical specimens."
  • Performance of Tests on Clinical Specimens: The device is designed to perform tests on "human serum, plasma and urine," which are clinical specimens.
  • Diagnostic and Treatment Purposes: The intended use describes how the measurements obtained by the device are used in the "diagnosis and treatment" of various diseases and conditions (e.g., aldosteronism, diabetes insipidus, electrolyte imbalance, cystic fibrosis, diabetic acidosis). This is a core function of IVD devices.
  • Use of Reagents and Calibrators: The description mentions the use of "prepackaged reagent packs," "TD-LYTE Integrated Multisensor," "TD-LYTE IMT Standard A," "TD-LYTE IMT Standard B + Salt Bridge," "Albumin BCP Reagent," and "Albumin BCP calibrator." These are all components typically used in in vitro diagnostic assays.
  • Calibration and Measurement of Analytes: The device performs quantitative measurements of analytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, albumin) in the specimens, which is a characteristic of IVD devices used for clinical analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The document details various performance studies (Detection Limit, Limit of Quantitation, Linearity, Precision, Interferences, Dilution Recovery, Method Comparison) which are standard evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their analytical performance.
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices (ADVIA 1800 Chemistry, ADVIA Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Albumin assays and calibrators) are also IVD devices, indicating the regulatory classification of similar systems.

All of these points strongly support the classification of the Trinidad CH System as an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

SODIUM, POTASSIUM, CHLORIDE_LOQ

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for serum and urine fluids were determined as described in CLSI Document EP17-A2 for Na, K and Cl. Total Error is calculated using: TE = bias + 2 * SD. The reference values are traceable to the reference standard. For both serum and urine, four low samples composed of diluted samples (serum or urine), were processed on two IMT sensor lots for three days, on one instrument for a total of 60

22

measurements per lot. The average, SD, and bias relative to the reference values were calculated for each sample per reagent lot. These values were used to calculate the TE per the Westgard model for each sample.

The LoQ for Na for serum and plasma is 40.4 mmol/L [40.4 mEq/L]. based on 120 determinations: and observed total error of 4.8% calculated using the Westgard model. The LoQ for Na for urine is 5.35 mmol/L [5.35 mEq/L], based on 120 determinations; and observed total error of 1.78 mmol/L [1.78 mEq/L] or 27% calculated using the Westgard model.

The LoQ for K for serum and plasma is 0.792 mmol/L [0.792 mEq/L], based on 120 determinations; and observed total error of 16.3% calculated using the Westgard model. The LoQ for K for urine is 1.03 mmol/L [1.03 mEg/L], based on 120 determinations; and observed total error of 22% calculated using the Westgard model.

The LoQ for Cl for serum and plasma is 38.3 mmol/L [38.3 mEq/L], based on 120 determinations; and observed total error of 10.3% calculated using the Westgard model. The LoQ for Cl for urine is 15.8 mmol/L [15.8 mEq/L], based on 120 determinations; and observed total error of 16% calculated using the Westgard model.

ALBUMIN LOQ

Five low samples composed of diluted serum pools were processed on three reagent lots for three days, on one instrument for a total of 75 measurements per reagent lot. The lowest sample concentration that met the LoQ inter-assay precision acceptance criteria is 0.41 g/dL. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) is 0.4 g/dL (4 g/L) based on 225 determinations, with an inter-assay precision of
